"The adult entertainment sector has increased its reach year on year in all European markets except Italy, where, not coincidentally, broadband access is the relative lowest in Europe,’’ the report said. Greece has no broadband whatsoever!!! so Italy doesnt have the lowest broadband access by all means Again Greece wins the prize! But then again, some people could argue we are not in Europe

First the RIAA and now we will see the porn industry go tackle this problem. Hmmm, I would like to watch a court TV about this case of someone infringing on porn and have Judge Judy be the judge. Porn Industry vs. admin. I tink would b funny :g:B

I was reading alt.sex.pictures.* before there was an alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* And remember the old text based porn that you had to print and look at from across the room? (Hmm…do you suppose early computer porn drove printer sales?)

lol. one HAS simply to reply to this article.

I can download a “normal” movie from kazaa at 50 and then enough bandwidth is left to download one of those adult movies in no time.
